#5 ??? Jahk, are you serious? Have you checked the comments of most Republicans on the internet? If one didn't know better, they would think Obama took over the USA wearing his Kenyan traditional clothing and was a Muslim, and sworn in on a Koran. They were even more harsh when talking about Michelle Obama and the daughters. I saw and heard hundreds claiming Michelle was a man and the daughters were stolen so the Obamas would look like a family. I've been to Kansas City and it was no better there than in Alabama or Georgia. I don't think I was in any state that I didn't hear the deplorables openly saying such things. They said it so much I'm sure they believed it.

You don't actually refute any of my points Musty. That gun ownership is up and murders are down is not inconsistent with any of my points. In fact, it's actually consistent with my points that people are arming themselves against exaggerated fears of danger fanned and exploited by the NRA.

You're unclear as to my point that the NRA has dramatically increased its lobbying efforts to oppose all gun safety regulation over the last decades. Do you actually contest this point? The NRA actually supported the federal ban of legal ownership of machine guns in 1933. It would never do that today.

And you noticeably avoid my point that the NRA intimidates any politician who supports even modest gun safety legislation. So if you want a friendly discussion on gun control with me you should probably start by trying to refute my points rather than just dismissing them out of hand like Jahk.

As it is, the Govt does have a vote up to encourage the sales of silence suppressors. Maybe, hopefully this current murdering spree will. at the very least extend the time before the GOP Trump mess oks and encourages more gun assorted attchments.

Yes, legal, but expensive, and time consuming to get one. Unless using loopholes, such as buying on net, or private sale, or gun shows.

As to proof President Trump is for the relaxing of all regulations on sales of silencers. I believe he is, the article above suggests others believe it to be a given fact.

Well, there you go! The real intelligence level of this bozo is shining through! Your cut and paste articles (where you do the cutting to fit your argument) hardly impresses, Jesse.

Here is a website which spells it out fully:I'm not cutting and pasting portions of it, you can look at it for yourself!

And again, let me remind you that they are 'suppressors', not silencers....

But since you want to play the gotcha game, let me toss this out to you.When were bump stocks permitted? Keep in mind I was the first to even mention bump stocks even before the news came out and said that's what he used!

When were bump stocks permitted? The ATF approved the sale and use of bump stocks in 2010 under the .... wait for it..... O'Bama Administration !!!Oh no! How can that be ??? Well, it's the truth.

And today, we had Democrat legislators zipping around the halls of Congress, screaming that we need to make bump stocks illegal!

Bandy posted:"In fact, it's actually consistent with my points that people are arming themselves against exaggerated fears of danger fanned and exploited by the NRA."

Sales may be up because of 'exaggerated fears' bandy, but those fears do not come from the NRA. They come from the Democrats in Congress. Here is case in point:In the recent past, certain Democrats wanted to make all 'AR style' rifles illegal. (Just because they looked really nasty....) What happened? Out of an 'exaggerated fear' that they would soon become illegal, millions ran out AND BOUGHT AR style rifles !

Just the day before yesterday it was revealed that the shooter was using 'bump stocks' on his rifles. Yesteday, Democrats started yelling that we have to outlaw bump stocks. What do you think happened today?Bump stock sales soared something like 700% out of the 'exaggerated fear' that they would soon become illegal!

With regards to bump stocks?(Do you even know what they are?)You can accomplish the same effect with rubber bands!!!So now, is Congress going to outlaw bands ??

Look.No one, especially myself, would try to downplay the horrible event in Las Vegas. But the truth of the matter is that what happened in 15 minutes in Las Vegas has been what has been happening in Chicago every month for years now ! Where is the outrage and outcry over those murders?

This nutjob in Las Vegas had legally purchased explosives in his vehicle. Thank God he didn't decide to sit that off as well.Just to show you, here is a video that I found on Youtube in about 30 seconds showing what that legal to purchase explosive can do:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edRbcTXAijY

Yet, we have congressmen and woman running around like they always do, grandstanding for the video cameras.

You asked me to provide info about my post.I left you the corrected info. But apparently many did think President Trump was for the silencers.

Silencers or suppressor.The links on search showed silencers, the alt right news called them suppressors. I don't care, but I suspect I will continue to call them silencers. Must be my movie star side.

More people are killed in domestic violance by people they know, than by these mass murdering crazy men.

The mental health professionals don't know how to stop the killing. No one is going to give up their guns. Possible answer is for more good citizens to carry guns so they can fight the domesticated terrorist. Thats how it is in the western movies of the wild wild west.
